Fall 2016 At the time of publication, our

Falcons Football team has reached

the quarterfinals of the State 1A

Football Tournament, and our

Saintes Volleyball team has

reached the semifinals in the state

tournament. Our participants on

the community swim team finished

their season strong, and so did our

Grandparents Day 2016

Students hosted Grandparents Day on September 9, 2016 We welcomed

hundreds of guests to campus to celebrate Mass, spend time in our elementary

classrooms and join our middle school and high school students for lunch. It was

a wonderful day for our entire community. Our next grandparent luncheon will

be school-wide, and held on January 30, 2017. Thank you for joining us!

Remembering…. Saint Albert Catholic Schools remembers all those who have gone before

us. We especially remember these Saint Albert Family Members…
